  2. Area and two angles
    trig_1 Calculate the size of all sides and internal angles of a triangle ABC, if it is given by area S = 501.9; and two internal angles α = 15°28' and β = 45°.
  3. Rhomboid
    triangle-ssa The dimensions of the rhomboid sides are a= 5cm, b = 6 cm and the size of the angle at the vertex A is 60°. What is the length of side AC?
  4. Two triangles SSA
    ssa Two triangles can be formed with the given information. Use the Law of Sines to solve the triangles. A = 59°, a = 13, b = 14
  5. Water channel
    trapezium_prism_2 The cross section of the water channel is a trapezoid. The width of the bottom is 19.7 m, the water surface width is 28.5 m, the side walls have a slope of 67°30' and 61°15'. Calculate how much water flows through the channel in 5 minutes if the water flow
  6. Inner angles
    triangle_1111 The inner angles of the triangle are 30°, 45° and 105° and its longest side is 10 cm. Calculate the length of the shortest side, write the result in cm up to two decimal places.
  7. ABCD

  9. Children playground
    lich_5 The playground has the shape of a trapezoid, the parallel sides have a length of 36 m and 21 m, the remaining two sides are 14 m long and 16 m long. Determine the size of the inner trapezoid angles.
  10. Mast shadow
    horizons Mast has 13 m long shadow on a slope rising from the mast foot in the direction of the shadow angle at angle 15°. Determine the height of the mast, if the sun above the horizon is at angle 33°. Use the law of sines.
  11. SSA and geometry
    ssu_veta The distance between the points P and Q was 356 m measured in the terrain. The PQ line can be seen from the viewer at a viewing angle of 107° 22 '. The observer's distance from P is 271 m. Determine the viewing angle of P and observer.
